Cross-Cutting the Literacy Block
For teachers leading grades 2 through 6
Are you finding it hard to have time for science and social studies in your elementary classroom? Are you not sure how to fit everything into your daily schedule?
Elementary classrooms revolve around all learning and subject matters. It’s hard to fit it all in! Learning isn’t an isolated event and is best done when we can make connections. Integrating content areas into the literacy block is a win-win. It supports reading and writing AND it supports knowledge building. During this learning opportunity, you will focus on the what, the why, and the how. There will be time built in to collaborate with others, reflect on practices, and explore resources
